The Future Unfolds is the first volume in the series that the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile is dedicating to the mobility of the future. Created for the opening of a new exhibition space, it gathers ideas and reflections from teachers, researchers and professionals investigating the challenges and opportunities of intelligent mobility — from decarbonisation to digitalisation, from AI to urban air mobility — accompanied by the poetic contribution of photographer Marina Caneve, who helps redefine our relationship with innovation, including from an aesthetic and cultural point of view. The whole amounts to a kind of manifesto on the Museum's role today, not only as a collector of memories but as an activator of thought: an informative, choral work made up of different approaches and points of view, restoring the complexity of the debate from the conviction that there is no single future awaiting us and no single revolutionary innovation that will make us sustainable. There will be many paths and different technologies that can help us, but it will be up to us, through our choices and our behaviour, to build a better future.
